Abstract:
OSGi is a dynamic Java modularity technology that originally was exploited by constrained Java runtime systems. In the last few years, OSGi has become the modularity technology of choice for all the major Java EE platform vendors, including IBM WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V7.0 OSGi feature pack, released in May 2010, adds open standards support for this ground breaking set of OSGi specifications to our proven Java EE runtime. This session presents an overview of OSGi and Enterprise OSGi as a modularity technology, with reference to the WAS v7.0 OSGi feature pack. The overview will be followed by live demonstrations of: Deploying an OSGi application on WAS and then Updating an OSGi application.
